Everything was done as Li Shengxi originally imagined, and in the end, the royal family of the previous dynasty was divided and distrusted each other.

And at this moment, Xiao Yuandao came to the door, and Xiao Yuandao was the former King of Wu. Later, he became the Duke of Wu Guo, until after the demotion, he voluntarily handed over all his family wealth and titles, and was unwilling to enjoy the support of the new court.

No matter how the imperial court rewarded him with gold and silver, Xiao Yuandao refused to accept it, and in the end he just lived in seclusion in the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing, speaking of which, Rong Zhi had not seen him for a long time.

Xiao Yuandao's energy is still good, but he is not as energetic as before, and Rong Zhi was very surprised when he arrived.

"Wu Xiaogong, why are you here?" Rong Zhi hurriedly asked someone to show people tea.

Rong Zhi did not open his own mansion alone, as the long history of Li Shengxi, he naturally lived in Li Shengxi's mansion.

"Recently, the demotion has intensified, and even Huiguo Gong has been imprisoned. Some nobles have found me. ”

It seems that he came to come for the matter of degrading, Rong Zhi smiled slightly, "Duke Huiguo went to prison because he was disrespectful to the first emperor and King Ning, and it has nothing to do with the demotion matter." ”

Xiao Yuandao glanced at Rong Zhi deeply, and suddenly remembered that Rong Zhi claimed to be a disciple of Meng Gong, and it was difficult to determine whether this matter was true or false, but I have to say that Rong Zhi's methods were very different from Meng Gong.

After the demotion reached his ears, he asked someone to check it, and once the ins and outs were clear, he knew it, and couldn't help but sigh at the old spicinessiness.

There are also rumors that Chu Fu Yin and King Ning are not in harmony, but I am afraid that they also set up a bureau, in order to spit out the fat that the old nobles ate in their mouths that did not belong to them.

If it was just a demotion, he didn't plan to care, but King Ning obviously had the intention of dividing the clan, which made him wonder if Li Shengxun wanted to exterminate the clan of the previous dynasty.

He didn't have much contact with this King Ning, and he didn't know how to behave in private, so he wanted to come to the door to try it, but with his current status, he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with this hot prince of the new dynasty, so he asked to see Rong Zhi.

"It turned out that he entered the play, but now in Beijing, the demotion can be said to be the most lively thing, and he was imprisoned for such a nobleman, even if it has nothing to do with the demotion level, it will inevitably make people think more, Xiao Mou came, he was really entrusted by others, and he wanted to come to Chaorong Changshi to ask for peace of mind."

Xiao Yuandao's words were not vague, Rong Zhi immediately understood, Xiao Yuandao was worried about whether Li Shengxian planned to exterminate the previous dynasty's clan.

This question, if you want to answer it truthfully, is really difficult to answer.

If it is, but it is also a real mistake of the clan.

If not, Li Shengxian didn't think about picking up this matter high and putting it down gently.

"If you have a clear conscience, your heart will be at peace. His Royal Highness acted vigorously and resolutely, but he was by no means a person who made a fuss out of nothing, and he was demoted to something to hide, such as the Duke of Kang Guo and the Duke of Germany, and His Royal Highness has never been embarrassed. Although Hui Guogong was exiled, it was not because of the demotion that he had concealed. It's for something else. Rong Zhi said with a heartfelt look.

Xiao Yuandao was not relieved by Rong Zhi's words, others might have heard it after listening to it, but Xiao Yuandao heard it strangely, especially the sentence "With a clear conscience, the heart is naturally at peace".

When Xiao Zeqing was in power, the court situation was chaotic, he was busy fighting with eunuchs and families, and he didn't take much care of the affairs of the clan, so he didn't know about the bad things in the clan. But from the fact that the clan refused to descend to death, fainted frequently, and was played by Qi people, he probably knew how corrupted the clan was.

Whether the clan has done anything bad or not, he really doesn't know. According to Rong Zhi's words, he didn't do anything, and King Ning would not be held accountable too much.

But if the clan did something, King Ning would definitely not let it go.

So, will the clan do something?

"From this point of view, His Royal Highness King Ning is very rewarding and punishing." Xiao Yuandao said with emotion.

Rong Zhi nodded, "His Royal Highness has always rewarded and punished clearly, and there are great rewards for meritorious service, and he will not be spared if he is guilty." Those who have no merit and no fault will not suffer unjustified disasters. Since Gong Xiao cares about the clan, it is better to ask them to cooperate with His Royal Highness, so that it will also benefit both sides, if he plays any tricks, I am afraid that the end will not be much better than that of Hui Guogong. ”

Rong Zhi's words can be regarded as the end of the confession, and the fate of most of the clans is about the same as that of Hui Guogong.

Xiao Yuandao's eyes sank slightly.

"I don't know these unscrupulous descendants, but what trouble have they caused His Highness?" Xiao Yuandao said tentatively.

Rong Zhi didn't intend to tell Xiao Yuandao about the matter, he said meaningfully: "It's nothing to cause trouble to His Highness, His Highness is broad-minded and won't care about it, but if it causes trouble to the people, then don't say that it is the former Northern Qi nobles, it is the Great Jin nobles, and Your Highness will not let it go." ”

Northern Qi is indeed good to Xungui, but Li Shengxi and Emperor Hongxing are not the same to Xungui.

After Emperor Hongxing succeeded to the throne, he was not merciful to the nobles of the Jin Dynasty, and after the end of the rebellion of the four kings, the four initiators naturally did not need to say much, but the other single-lens reflex clans that had a little relationship with each other, the best result was a downgrade.

Later, as soon as there was trouble, Emperor Hongxing would definitely use the topic to reduce the nobility.

Xiao Yuandao had heard of these things, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Ning has the legacy of the first emperor, but now it seems that it is worthy of its reputation." ”

"Nature." Rongji nodded.

Although Xiao Yuandao's expression did not change, he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

He didn't know what the clan had done, but he clearly knew that the clan must be rotten now, otherwise it would be impossible for the downgraded thing to be tossed for so long.

It is said that Emperor Hongxing was strict with the nobles, but the final result of the harshness was that the expenses for supporting the clan were reduced, and the treasury was greatly enriched by raiding the homes of the nobles.

Now Xungui is seventy percent less than Emperor Hongxing in the early years of his accession to the throne, and they are all people with their tails between their legs, not to mention being traitors, even if they are slightly overstepping, they have to be afraid for a long time, for fear that they will be copied to their homes in the next moment.

But Northern Qi is different.

Moreover, if the Northern Qi clan really did something, Li Shengxi would definitely kill them all, and there was no need to even think about it.

Xiao Yuandao fell silent for a moment.

"Gong Xiao turned this back to the nobles, thinking that they will definitely feel a lot more at ease." Rong Zhi said with a smile, thought about it, and continued to speak: "Gong Xiao still has to persuade the clan to promote the demotion of the matter, once this matter is over, wouldn't it be appropriate for both sides?" ”

Xiao Yuandao nodded, he was worried in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, if the clan really did something, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do anything, and he didn't want to do anything.

Die together, but you are really dead.
